Sorry everyone if I was not clear.
The diode was not loose it was attached. Its a brand new unit. It was sealed in box, I opened it from its factory seal, so it was not used or repaired. The diode came off when I was taking the bottom plate off the base, the wire is super thin. I'm using a ZW-L transformer. It's not fastened to anything, I tried that both ways. The ramp is brand new untouched so it is not slick and they actually used a flat finish yellow paint on the remakes. I have shiny and also the non shiny barrels. But that does not matter because the barrels don't even make it to the ramp, they never leave the loading platform at the bottom. I have tried voltage from 10 all the way up to 18 to even just see if I could get them to move. Even at 18 they just bounce around. I made sure the plate is completely vertical with the coil, 1/32 gap. I'll post a video later.
